... shy, smile, and use hand gestures and the little bit of Spanish that I know to get what I need. Overall, I wish I was more outgoing here. And now that I am thinking about it, it has been hard to be outgoing because after school I am so exhausted and hungry that all I want to do is take a siesta. There are so many things that I want to do I just wear myself out. I really need to just take it easy. I'm listening to this song on my computer ...

... Real Andalucia), Marbella won´t spring to mind at all.......... Ronda for sure and maybe nowadays Malaga as well, as they have done up the City center!

In all the building boom over the last 15 years, the Quaint Old Town of Marbella has not been
touched at all and this beautiful authentic small Andalusian fishing village, called Marbella, still remains in tact!

One can feel the new rush into the Old ...

Malaga oh Malaga. Today we met some locals through an intercabio at a Indian style cafe and it was pretty neat. I am realizing how little Spanish I know and how fast the Spaniards talk. So far I like my classes. We stay in the same room while three different teachers come in throughout the day. The biggest shock about Spain for me was that people ...

... was said in Spanish, the student would be unable to find snorkelling on the poster of 12 different activities... so maybe he would point to rock climbing, and then water skiing, and then just say they didn´t know. If they don´t know what it is in Spanish it is probably going to be hard to learn in English right? So maybe doing lessons that are more culturally relevant to start would be a good idea?? Just some observations!

Apparently ...

... is very interesting – Emily recommended it to me J It is about Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints and Mainstream Mormons.

So today the weather wasn’t great but it wasn’t raining either so I went for a long walk to explore Álora. I went to my school, which seemed cute from the outside with a very colorful fence. There are a lot of cute little parks in Álora and they have recycling all over, which I loveeee. On my walk I saw the taxi driver who ...

... I wasn´t so sure if this is part of the legal code in Spain or not, and I don´t want to miss my flight tomorrow because I am rotting in some jailcell. Sometimes you just need to know when to fold them and stand back.

Even with her car rocking this woman just stayed on her cellphone and made no attempt to move it so the rocking got more intense. Let me tell you, the chassis and suspension on a Benz has some play ...

... ga meeldiva mulje, koguni tõime seda võrdluseks mitmete järgnevate sihtkohtade puhul. Armsad kitsad tänavad, kus majad on kaunistatud lillepottide ja kõiksugu ronivate taimedega – sellist pilti juba igas linnas ei näinud. Samuti oli lahe mere äärde jalutades teele jäänud park, mis oli nagu džungel keset linna. Igalpool oli lugematu arv purskkaevusid ja armsaid kohvikuid ...

... the hand rail in front of us so we wouldn't spill into the aisle. Once at the airport we sat down to eat some breakfast, thinking the authentic "American" pancakes might taste a little like home but they were disappointingly as you might expect: English and cooked in an airport.
The cool London weather didn't exactly prepare us for the temperature shock we received in southern Spain. First observation about Spain: while classified as a ...

... houses - they had mostly flowers in their gardens and everything looked kinda neat! The beach was nice - the promenade not too much - there are better ones like in Marbella - we had to lay down at the beach - it was December and we could lay down at the beach - that's unique for us - it is very special - then Talina comes from Switzerland - lots of snow every year - she lives in St. Moritz and Tracy is from London...and in Germany we usually have cold ...

... move on if I was going to find my next home by dark. Finally, I found the address and met my next hosts. They are a younger couple, Yann and Maria with a young one called Ocean. Their house is very unique and I have never really seen anything like it. In the bottom floor, there are rooms carved out of the rock and its very cavern-like. Infact, Yann refers to one of the rooms just off the kitchen as the "cave." There are lots of plants and vines all the way through and the ...
